Not sure. I've been told that utensils on the plate mean you're done. Different customs, different places?

I'll be by your side, if you're on deck 10 starboard. No tags for us. No one knows how this game works.

Except that it probably is.

No crow or apology necessary. My comment was actually hopeful, selfish denial. If the rumors of "fleet wide" elimination of American Diner and Observation Lounge breakfast is true, that eliminates 2/3 of my breakfast options.

It's amazing that some don't recognize you as the no-nonsense intellectual that you are.

If only we had more recent experiences, like posts #3, #4, #5, #6, and #9.

I'm certainly with you on this. I love the added choices of more restaurants, bars, entertainment venues, etc. on the big ships. It's just, you know, the mass of humanity that inevitably comes with it.

Sounds more and more like a one off. What did your friends say? I hope you didn't purposely point out your perceived faults. That would obviously sway their own opinion.

I was just thinking about this concerning our upcoming 21-day. I just assumed that nearly everyone comes in a day prior, but I'm coming to understand that this is not necessarily the case (even cruisers coming in internationally!). I can't wrap my head around spending that kind of money, then not being able to meet the ship until 3-days later, in Colombia, usually at their own additional expense! Boggles my mind.

Because of #3: I prefer corroboration, and a daily would have been nice. While I believe what you experienced, were you there every day? People hear things from officers all the time, it seems. Some are correct, and some most certainly aren't.

Surprising as it may seem, some of us have no desire to cruise with 6000+ other randoms. 3-4000 is already more than enough.

When one holds a Blue Moon on a cruise ship, one never stands alone. I think I heard that somewhere.

I don't either, but it was worth a shot! 😃

No one will corroborate because the policy of holding back Vibe passes doesn't exist. Some who like to invent NCL policy, because they supposedly got lucky (twice!) and "heard" it from someone (or two!), will say the policy exists, but that doesn't make it so.

If you happened to keep on of the dailies, it would be listed as a breakfast option.

That seems very odd to me. It's never taken 2 hours for any meal in any restaurant for us on NCL. Maybe, a few times, maybe, it took 1:45 with dessert and after-dinner port. Never has it exceeded 2 hours, let alone approach 3. We eat at regular dining times. What are you guys doing when you eat?

Love is love, buddy. Glad it worked out for you. So there. Yeah, this whole thing is just bending my brain.

No problem. I'm not caught up on my cruise news today. But I'm still not clicking a tiktok link. 😆

I'm not clicking that link. Let's just say, if you get your news from tiktok, you get the news you deserve.

Color me confused.

This isn't your only thread about confusion with this cruise. Why do think it's NCL's fault and not your agents, or your own?

No policy that I know of, but because of the pre-bidding process, anyone who gets an upgrade will get it before you board the ship. Balconies will be gone to those who bid from an inside or ocean-view. There will be no more balconies to get.

Thank you, Bird, for posting essentially nothing that hasn't already been said. I think I can ask for the board when I ask, do you actually read a thread, or do you just respond to random posts that catch your eye? I intend no disrespect. Just curious.

No problem. As far as boarding, one plat, all plat.

And yet, we'll have to do it a thousand times more.
